Aquarium Controller update

Need 7 more people that would be interested in building this controller - 15 is the minimum for a price break on the fabrication on the boards.

1/11/04 Update

Well, about 2 weeks since an update for you people. I have been a little busy during the holidays and at work, but don't worry, progress is still being made. The code is coming together slowly, I just have an RS232 interface and finalization of the Relay checking code to do. Everything else seems to be working (obviously not the internet interface...that will be addressed after we get the main controller working as planned). I recently bought a new Canon Digital Rebel, so any new pics should be much better.

The pcb and chip signup seems to be coming along well, we have about 7 people who have put their names on the list, still need about that many more for me to send the files out to a professional board house...but I am keeping close track, so if you are on the list, just keep an eye when we near 15 people signed up for whichever board you signed up for...I will email you before any final plans are made.

Another quick update, but it is hard to add updates on the coding, nothing fun to take pictures of. I will have some pictures of the final breadboarding of the ORP monitor when it is hooked into the controller soon. Until then, thanks for your interest..SWN

ooops sorry it's there now.

I've been following this and would love to have a controller for the tank that does everything but can't and won't pay an arm and a leg for one (can't afford it anyway)
